    This cracks me up. Is it sick of me that I actually find it motivational?

    I'm just saying there is always tomorrow. Kick your feet up and relax, have some cheesecake, throw back a couple of brewskis!

    Yeah look ultimately I agree. You have to forgive yourself; you can't change past. And yes it is ok to let it go some days so you can release that anxiety that comes with being good.

    I'm also saying that it's easy to become too lax with it. The balance is hard to strike and is rarely there for long.

    Do I smell sarcasm?


    But I agree somewhat...have a piece of pie every once in a while!...just don't have the whole pie. ;)

    This is an interesting topic to me. A lot of us are overweight because we eat too much. We eat too much because we're addicted to food.

    Usually with addiction you just resolve to never partake in the practise ever again. You vow to never drink another drink or smoke another cigarette. When the demons start rationalising for you you always go back to the single, atomic, prime directive: DO NOT DO THAT, EVER!

    With food you can't do that. You can't just 'never eat' because you need to eat to live.

    So what you end up having to do is instead of treating all food as the same you have to compartmentalise food into separate categories. These foods I can eat and these foods I can't. These foods are my 'cigarettes' ... never to be eaten!

    It's hard, though, because it's easy for those 'bad' foods to creep back in because you're eating anyway. One cookie after dinner is ok ... then it's another cookie while watching TV then it's 3 cookies after dinner because it's within your calorie budget then it's the whole pack because hey, while I'm eating cookies I may as well ... one more isn't that bad.

    It's just a slippery slope that for some of us we really need to either avoid the cookie altogether or designate one time a week were we officially allow ourselves that ONE cookie.
    I cant eat just one of anything that is bad for me! I must banish all bad foods or I will fail. Just as I did the other night when a friend brought a huge box of doughnuts over. Could I eat just 1???? Hell no!! Had about 4......She is not my friend anymore...haha

    So, have a few doughnuts! You have a 13 and a 9 year old. That has to be so stressful. I am sure you are not appreciated as much as you should be. Well you know what, I appreciate you. I think you deserve some doughnuts or what ever else you desire.

    This is what we hear from all of the saboteurs in our lives (husbands, wives, mothers) every time we get to something good and they want it too but are unwilling to work for it.

    Clearly you don't see why we're all here...to get healthy and LIVE our wonderful lives longer!
